Joke levels based on geography?
?!
Do I joke about where you live?
I mean, should I regard everyone here as a character on the Simpsons or something. Theres probably some Reverend Lovejoys and Ned Flanders on here too.
I dont know where people have this idea that I have a kitchen on the beach. You could have a fire but open fires are banned in summer and hangis take a long time to cook.
Food trucks require lots of fuel. If you want to clean and service a frying vat be my guest.
anyway, I dont know if IT people have the solution...probably advise people to buy all their cooked food frozen and just heat it up again in the microwave.

Because my team is in other states, I've always pretty much worked at home since I started back with this company in 2019. During Covid I wasn't allowed to go to the office because it's a data center too. Now I'm in a different office, and the requirement is 3 days in the office, but I'm exempted because I work nights & sometimes weekends for software deployments and troubleshooting. I used to travel internationally at my previous job, but now it's just 1 week per year for our annual "summit." We have a timeshare in the mountains, and sometimes I work when I'm up there, sometimes I don't.

you read 7 books and get a free pizza
Thats the deal
There was a pizza oven in the garden at one point but it doesnt get used in when its raining. I heard in the US people make pizzas in factories, freeze them and then just heat them up in the microwave where theyve turned to mush. I couldnt believe it.
In italy pizza was just a meal that used up all their leftover tomatoes and food they couldnt finish the day before. Tomatoes can grow year round there but the british had this thing about fresh hothouse hydroponically grown genetically engineered tasteless tomatoes cos they just really need to eat salads in the middle of their winter.

Harvey Norman (australian) seems to think nzers will buy all their electronic appliances they advertise all the time but hadnt reckoned with house sizes and where to actually put everything. Or how many extension cords you would need.
Its the whole I know I will just build a bigger barn to put all my stuff again thats in the Bible. Porbably an age old problem. And..what to do when those appliances break, they dont seem to last that long.
The thing with computers, well hardware, is a hassle updating that. Software of course needs updating all the time and more and more memory, but how many iphones versions have there been now?

You're welcome.
I would recommend that you do some research on the topics that you comment to avoid being offended the next time.
You work in a library, right?
For example, i cannot have the same standard of living in Greece or Italy where gas alone costs like $120 dollars to fill a 1.8 or 2.1 cylinder car with an average salary of $1000 per month.
Whereas in USA even with the insane gas prices now for American standards, i can fill a 2.5 cylinder car for $40 with an average salary of $5000 per month.

I dont eat marmite. Vegemite (australian version) actually tastes better, less sugar but I havent had it in ages. You meant to eat it with cheese and chips and make a sandwich
But then I guess all that goes in the exotic food thread.
pizza I only ate on rare occasions at school when someone swapped their pizza slices for my wedges.
Otherwise most schools if they did have a toaster it needed checking it didnt set the fire alarm off. One private school had a hot drinks machine but I noticed teachers tended to subsist on cereal and V8 drinks if they didnt have the school lunch.
when school lunches were bought in any hot food would be cold by the time it got to the children, I often wondered why they couldnt just make it onsite. I guess it didnt make sense to me. A lot of things dont make sense...like why have a library and then allocate no money to run it? But this is what schools do.
Then I would wonder how could their principals afford their fancy SUVs.
